The stroma of the iris, where it ceases to be adherent to the cornea, is very thin. There is marked ectropion of the uveal pigment, and also some Fig. 1. Photograph of section showing the periphery of the cornea and ano-le of the anterior chamber. The dark streaks seen m the anterior part of the cornea are probably thickened nerve^ fibres No spaces of Fontana or canal of Schlemm can be made out. Tissue like that of stroma of the ins is seen pro- lono-ed forwards round the angle of the anterior chamber. bending forwards of the sphincter muscle at the pupillar border.
